heard commotion out by the road, its a major county 2 lane road.

I heard a high powered rifle and pile of dogs barking and a caravan of trucks.  I go out and the truckes are parked on side of road , when I got there they were loading up a bear they shot. And gathering a couple dogs.

It took me a minute to get over there from gunshot til they loaded it. I suspect it was chased from my side of road/property to other side and they shot from the road, can't prove any of this other then time line of shot -[> loading bear.

Is this legal to do ?

Looks like you must be 25 yards off the road.  And 500 feet from a building.

Trespassing and running hounds varies greatly from state to state.  Lots of states, if land is not posted in a specific way and it’s not agriculture...it’s not trespassing.  Other states you need written permission no matter what the circumstances.

Hunting dogs are all over the place as well. I sure if you called your DNR they could give you the correct answer in respect to your state.

In Iowa you can hunt in the ditches between the road and the fence.  It is how most ditch chickens are shot anymore.

I’m upstate NY you must be 200 feet from a feeling or a road to fire a rifle or pistol.
Aside from that hunting should be fair chase in my opinion
